PRESS QUOTES
"Smarts is something Ginger Leigh has always demonstrated and her release from earlier this year, Sugar in My Coffee, is another jolt of java-laced groove and sweetly composed tunes. That's not to suggest they're lightweight or otherwise insubstantial, but rather that Leigh strikes a delicate balance between style, substance, and unrestrained rock & roll, especially on songs such as "Close Enough," "Angel," and "Mexican Man." -- Austin Chronicle, Margaret Moser
"...Leigh channels her verve and energy into a style that sounds something like Pat Benatar and Bonnie Raitt jamming at Ani DiFranco's house. Leigh can write up-tempo love songs, but she's at her best when making hard left turns and pulling surprises out of all fields. Hard-charging on the road, Leigh can stay busy in and around Texas but also is in demand in Europe, particularly in Italy.
"Sugar in My Coffee" will open ears, move souls and stir feelings, on this continent and others, with songs such as "Holy World" and "Mexican Man." Pay attention because Leigh will be on time and looking good."
--San Antonio Express News, Jim Beal
"Her soulful voice glides across heartstrings like bow to cello, mixing elements of jazz, blues, rock and pop."
--Austin Woman Magazine
"BluesBunny wonders what is in the water in Texas these days. So much quality music is emanating from the Lone Star state. Ginger Leigh's album "Sugar in My Coffee" is no exception. We are talking about intelligent music for adults here. Miles away from fluffy bunny land. This is gritty stuff...
Classy music with a conscience. Honest, direct and confrontational lyrics. And you hum the tunes. You can't ask for more than that." -- www.bluesbunny.com
"Leigh struts out on stage, part Bette Midler vamp, part Gibson SG axe swinging rock star. As one of the reigning divas of the Austin Indie scene, Leigh combines her on-stage cabaret antics with soulful lyrics and passionate delivery."
--Marquee Magazine, Colorado
"Leighs music is akin to the iron fist in the velvet glove."
--San Antonio Express News |
